Harpoon Guns have arrived in Fisch, adding a new ranged fishing mechanic that lets you directly target roaming fish in the water. Instead of casting a normal fishing rod, you can aim a Harpoon Gun at a fish, fire at it, hook the target, and then complete a new pulling minigame to catch it.
The update includes seven unique Harpoon Guns, each with different stats. These guns are scattered around the map, with the update mentioning locations ranging from Crystal Cove to the Cursed Isle.
There are also new enchantments and a Trident Strike Ritual in the Desolate Deep to discover.
Fisch Harpoon Guns Update Guide – Trident Strike Ritual, Codes
Harpoon Guns give you a more direct way of catching roaming fish.
After equipping one, look into the water for a fish you can target. Aim at the fish and fire the Harpoon Gun. When the harpoon connects, it hooks the fish and starts the pulling minigame.
You then need to press Pull quickly to bring the fish in. Complete the pulling sequence successfully and the catch is finished.
The mechanic is pretty simple once you try it:
Spot a fish → shoot it with the Harpoon Gun → hook it → complete the Pull minigame.
The pulling minigame is actually a nice addition because catching the fish does not end as soon as your shot connects.
Equipping Harpoon Guns
Harpoon Guns have their own equipment section.
Once you obtain one, open your Equipment Bag and look through the fishing equipment. Select the Harpoon Guns section and equip the gun you want to use.
After that, you can head toward the water and start targeting roaming fish.
Seven Harpoon Guns
There are seven Harpoon Guns available in the update.
Every gun has unique stats, and they are located in different places around the Fisch map. The update points toward locations stretching from Crystal Cove to the Cursed Isle, so finding every Harpoon Gun requires traveling around different islands and areas.
Some are also easier to locate than others.
Funko Harpoon Gun
The Funko Harpoon Gun is one of the guns shown in the update.
It costs 155,000 and can be found around the Gray Cop area.
The location can be difficult to see when the map is dark. During the search, an admin event made the area extremely dark, which made spotting the Harpoon Gun harder.
Once you find and purchase it, open your Equipment Bag, select Harpoon Guns, and equip it.
You can then find a visible fish in the water, aim at it, and fire. Successfully hitting the fish starts the Pull minigame.
Steady Harpoon Gun
The Steady Harpoon Gun can be found at Roslit Bay.
This is one of the cheaper Harpoon Guns available in the update.
However, its performance was not particularly impressive during testing. If you have other Harpoon Gun options available, the Steady Harpoon Gun may not be the one you want to prioritize.
It can still give you access to the new Harpoon fishing mechanic without going directly for one of the other guns.
Relic Piercer
The Relic Piercer is another Harpoon Gun mentioned in the update.
Unlike the Steady Harpoon Gun, this one was difficult to locate during the search. Its exact position was not found in the footage, so you may need to spend more time searching for it.
The Harpoon Guns are scattered around the map, and some of their locations can be harder to find depending on the island.
Golden Harpoon Gun
The Golden Harpoon Gun is another gun connected to the update.
It could be redeemed during the update, with the redemption also providing a bunch of additional items.
If you have the Golden Harpoon Gun redemption available, make sure to claim it and check what you receive.
Finding Harpoon Guns Around the Map
The seven Harpoon Guns are not all located together.
You will need to explore different areas of the map to find them. Some can be easy to spot once you reach the correct location, while others can be difficult to find.
Lighting can also make the search harder. If an event makes the map extremely dark, you may be close to a Harpoon Gun without immediately noticing it.
A Fishing Radar was also used while searching around the Gray Cop area when visibility was poor.
The update mentions Harpoon Guns being found across the map from Crystal Cove to the Cursed Isle, so expect to travel if you want to collect all seven.
New Enchantments
The Harpoon Guns update also adds new enchantments.
These are another part of the update alongside the seven new Harpoon Guns, although the transcript does not show the complete list or explain the individual enchantment effects.
Trident Strike Ritual
A new Trident Strike Ritual has appeared in the Desolate Deep.
The update describes it as a forgotten ritual containing a mysterious challenge. Completing this challenge allows players to uncover hidden armor.
The exact location was not confirmed in the footage, but it was suggested that the ritual could be around the area where the Trident Rod is located.
Players exploring the Desolate Deep should therefore keep an eye out for the new ritual while checking the area.
The biggest addition in this Fisch update is the new Harpoon Gun fishing system.
There are seven unique Harpoon Guns with different stats, and they can be found across different parts of the map. The Funko Harpoon Gun costs 155,000, while the cheaper Steady Harpoon Gun is located at Roslit Bay. The Relic Piercer is another available gun, although it was harder to locate, and the update also includes a Golden Harpoon Gun that could be redeemed.
After obtaining a Harpoon Gun, equip it from your Equipment Bag and find a roaming fish in the water. Shoot the fish to hook it and then quickly complete the Pull minigame to finish the catch.
Alongside Harpoon Guns, the update introduces new enchantments and the Trident Strike Ritual in the Desolate Deep, giving players a few additional things to search for while exploring the update.
